Filcoflex Tri-Clamp flexible connections are designed to integrate into process systems using Tri-Clamp sanitary fittings, widely applied in the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
These flexible sleeves allow to absorb vibrations, compensate for small misalignments between equipment and facilitate system dismantling, while maintaining a tight, hygienic and secure connection between pipeline sections or process equipment.
Thanks to their design, they are particularly suitable for installations requiring frequent cleaning, quick disassembly and compliance with strict hygiene standards, ensuring process continuity without compromising product safety or quality.
This type of flexible connection is commonly used in sanitary process lines, dosing systems, filtration installations and product transfer systems, where system movements must be compensated without affecting hygiene or tightness.
Filcoflex Tri-Clamp connections can be manufactured using different materials depending on the product, process conditions and hygiene requirements. Common materials include silicone for food and pharmaceutical applications, polyurethane (PU) for abrasive products, and other materials adapted to specific processes. Selecting the right material is essential to ensure durability and product compatibility.
These solutions can be supplied with materials compliant with FDA and EU 1935/2004 regulations, as well as detectable materials for applications where food safety is critical.
Filcoflex Tri-Clamp connections are available in different configurations depending on the type of connection and required level of customization, with CFL, LFDDC and LFR solutions standing out. These differ in the type of Tri-Clamp connection and the level of customization.
The CFL flexible connections are sleeves equipped with bolted Tri-Clamp flanges with conical lip, designed to provide a simple and reliable flexible connection in sanitary process systems.
This design allows direct integration into Tri-Clamp installations, maintaining a hygienic, tight and easy-to-disassemble connection for maintenance or cleaning operations.
The LFDDC connections are flexible sleeves equipped with bolted Tri-Clamp flanges and reusable metal parts, allowing the metal components to be reused when replacing the sleeve.
This design is especially suitable for installations requiring frequent maintenance or periodic replacement, reducing costs and downtime.
The LFR connections are highly customizable flexible sleeves equipped with pressed Tri-Clamp couplings, enabling a robust and process-specific integration.
This design is intended for applications where a fully tailored flexible solution is required, with strong integration into the process system.
Tri-Clamp flexible connections are part of the Filcoflex flexible connection range available at SUTEIN, designed to improve safety, hygiene and process continuity in installations with high sanitary requirements.
At SUTEIN, we support you in selecting the most suitable Filcoflex Tri-Clamp flexible connection, considering the product, process conditions and cleaning or maintenance requirements.
